about

‘Hetty Pegler’s Tump’ is a Neolithic long barrow, or burial mound, near the village of Uley in Gloucestershire...I’ve still never been there...

lyrics

You sat on the cold rocks,
And cried like the sea,
You blocked out your heart’s pain,
Until you found me,

So where have you come from,
And where will you be,
And if you ever move on,
You’ll never leave me,

You break like the waves do,
And you crash like the storm,
I run into your soul’s wake,
I’m transfixed by your form,

So where have you come from,
And where will you be,
And if you ever move on,
You’ll never leave me,

You shine like an angel,
And you glow like the moon,
You’re blushing like the sunset,
And you rise like the morn,

So where have you come from,
And where will you be,
And if you ever move on,
You’ll never leave me,

Now you sit on the sad rocks,
And you laugh at the sea,
Your heart has now been reborn,
And now you are me,
